Anchan Boutique Hotel & Spa Hua - Hin

Lovely hotel, helpful and friendly staff, good and clean facilities, nice pool and bar.
Location might be an issue for some. It is right on the red light district, with lots of very loud bars right next to it going on until the early hours of the morning. However, it is also near to the beach and lots of nice places and the neighborhood has a much nicer ambience to the nightlife.

Great massage.
I didn't stay at the hotel but I visited the spa. I had a 90 minute oil massage. Great massage, ni sexual bothering.
All massage rooms have showers so I could clean myself from all the oil.
Have a look at the pictures, the rooms are very nice. And the price is very good. Just slighly more expensive than the low budget massage parlors. 1 hour oil massage is 400 baht. The price is totally worth it. I haven't been to one of the high class spas, but for me this is the best one in Hua Hin.

TLDR: cheap hotel, noisy street, pool chems will destroy your hair, comfy beds, and clean rooms. Save the headache and go somewhere else.

Pros: Affordable, clean rooms, good air con, close to the beach and some night markets, and very friendly/professional staff members.

Con: Pool chemicals are imbalanced, noise leaked from the outside street during the late night, the bathroom would occasionally leak sewer gas, and the proprietor of the establishment seems to have forgotten what customer service is.

If you are a solo traveler or a couple on a budget then this hotel should be fine for you, but if you are a family and have children then I would probably look for a room elsewhere.

The pool is a nice looking and comfortable one, however if you are blonde or you have had hair treatments done then you should be wary taking a dip. My girlfriend and I took a swim and as we were drying off from swimming we noticed that her hair had suddenly taken on a pastel green color apart from her blonde. From my basic pool knowledge this means the pool chems are out of balance - most likely the copper or magnesium levels/anti algae chems…but hey it’s not my job to test the pH balance of each pool I go into. We talked to the staff about this issue and they hooked us up with the owner. All we wanted was a simple apology and perhaps a sign or something to warn future people so they wouldn’t have their hair potentially ruined, but the owner insisted that it was ours and out hair dressers fault, that this problem has never happened, and that she uses a pool company to manage it like everyone else. She eventually gave a half*ssed apology, “sorry but it’s your problem”. Here’s the thing though, we have gone swimming in countess chlorinated pools in E. Asia and S.E. Asia and neither one of us have had an issue until today - so it is definitely your pool’s problem, not ours or our hairdresser.

At the end of the day there are countless other hotels in the area around the same price point with the same level of comfort…go somewhere else.

Do NOT get a massage from the spa. I had to walk away midway through the massage. I kept saying I was in pain (for example, the masseuse would press down hard on my kidneys), then she would laugh and continue to do the same thing. I'll have bruises everywhere.

I told the owner that the masseuse really needs to listen because she was hurting me. The owner responds with "No. You're wrong. It's supposed to hurt for 2 days."

My family owns a salon, I've gotten massages in several countries and have never been told that bruises during massages are fine.

Choose this place if you want to be denied check-in because the reservation doesn't appear in their system and they're fully booked, leaving you stranded.

They blamed Agoda for the mistake, but during the half-hour I was sitting there looking for a new hotel, two more groups of guests were denied, including some that booked on traveloka and trip.com. Then they blamed their agency that handles the booking, doing everything to could to deny responsibility.

I also disliked the fact that many guests and staff were walking inside without a face mask.
